[ID: Several drawings of Arthur Lester and John Doe from Malevolent, from the chest up. Arthur is portrayed as a midsized white man with short, disheveled brown hair that is hanging partially over his face. He has some stubble and wears a brown sweater over a gray button down. His eyes are yellow.
The first drawing shows Arthur in profile with a neutral expression, with John depicted as an audio wave over his head. The second drawing depicts John as a floating disembodied mouth with sharp yellow teeth. Arthur has his eyes shut and yells: "You tried to kill me!!" to which John yells back: "Get over it!!"
The third drawing shows John as disembodied teeth again, this time making a confused expression as he says "Why are you so happy. We almost died." Arthur is smiling, his hair swept out of his face as he answers: "I get to move forward. It's brilliant!" The final drawing depicts John as a large negative black space in the shape of sharp teeth, with the inner maw bright yellow. He is large enough to entirely surround Arthur as he yells "Arthur, RUN." Arthur gasps in horror and looks back over his shoulder in panic. In his eyes there is a small audio wave where his pupil should be. End ID.]
listening to malevolent 💛 this podcast makes me want gnaw off my arm 🥰
been experimenting with some designs for these two. I picture Arthur very clearly but still debating how to depict John 🤔🤔
@horseboneologist gave me a list of prompts involving Hastur, on of which was “Hastur threatening John” and I like torturing my favorites. Poor John… 😘
Playing with a redesign to incorporate the pallid mask and a more fleshy look that I’ve been wanting to do for a while. Of course I see all of the eldritch creatures/entities as more fluid and not really locked into how they appear, so I’m having fun being inconsistent with how I draw Hastur and his fragments lol
slapping him saturday
i started listening to malevolent and john getting pissed off at arthur's lack of self preservation never stops being funny
[ID copied from ALT with Author's Notes removed: Animated gif of arthur in profile holding a flickering lighter, as the light shifts images of john appear in the background, one in profile and one facing the lighter. End ID.]
[ID of the photos under the cut, copied from ALT: arthur and john in profile, john is portrayed as long yellow cloak stretching ominously far forwards with subtle black shapes writhing out underneath
the same image only now john has rotated to face the viewer/lighter, the cloak is empty save for two luminously glowing yellow pinpricks, dark shapes mimicking mandibles and tentacles spill from under the hood and blend black into the background. End ID.]
It's dark Arthur, pull out your lighter.
(practically I know john is most easily portrayed as a normal hooded guy with a mask but deep down my heart of hearts still belongs to mergo's wet nurse)
His prey animal rage has bewitched me have a sketch
You Call It Madness (But I Call It Love) / Malevolent by Harlan Guthrie
lots of malevolent art and concepts around John covering Arthur's eyes and that's good, great even, a major theme of the podcast in fact. but not nearly enough art of Arthur covering John's mouth.
[ID copied from ALT: The first image shows Kayne from Malevolent taking Sam Reich’s place on the game changer set behind the host podium. The set around him has splashes of blood. The second image shows Arthur Lester, leaning on a player podium on the set of Game Changer, looking off screen towards the host podium, looking haggard. John peeks over his shoulder. End ID.]
Now, you two understand how the game works?
No. Fuck off.
thinking of that one scene from the incredibles but applying it to john and arthur where johns hand starts feeling up to arthur's jaw and arthur thinks hes just being weird until john decks him in the face skshfmnfnc
[Start ID: Three panel sketch comic of John and Arthur from Malevolent. Arthur is a stout man with a mustache and slightly messy, short side parted hair. He's wearing a collared shirt with a tie, his sleeves are rolled up past his elbows. First panel, John's hand grasps at Arthur's shirt, patting around. Arthur peers down at the movement confused. Second panel, Arthur looks even more confused as John's hand feels along his jaw. He says, "J...John, what are you-?". Third panel, Arthur is cut off when John's arm decks him across the face, Arthur staggers to the ground. A tiny disembodied John face (represented by an oval shaped face with four eyes and angry eyebrows) yells "FUCK YOU!!!" End ID.]
i have spent many hours thinking about the complexities of bella and arthur’s relationship and i’ve come to the conclusion that they were close friends who messed around when they absolutely should not have and that messed everything up
[ID: A digital drawing of "mossy-rainfrog's Malevolent season 4 boys", featuring a spread of designs from the bust up of various characters: Larson, Oscar, Noel, and John and Arthur.
Larson is a thin, white man with green eyes, brown-blond hair and a handlebar mustache. He has his chin tipped up and grins cruelly as he looks down, saying "Well, well." He is wearing a red suit with a purple tie. Oscar is a midsized, light skinned Black man with short, curly red hair, a goatee, and freckles. He looks right at the viewer with downturned brown eyes and an earnest, sad expression. He wears priest garments and has a cross necklace. Detective Noel is a skinny, older white man with tanned skin, greying dark hair, and dark eyes. He wears a gray hat and a gray suit with a brown tie. His mouth is set in a hard line and he looks suspiciously off to the side.
Arthur is a stout white man with short disheveled brown hair and various scars, including a scar across his throat. He has gold, unfocused eyes, and wears a brown vest over a yellow tie. John is looming over his shoulder, slightly obscured by Arthur in front of him. John is portrayed as a humanoid monstrous figure with a cracked pallid mask for part of his face. Beneath the mask and his golden-yellow hooded robe, his skin is empty blackness. The characters are all drawn against a maroon background. End ID.]
some doodles before I finish ep 40 and inevitably die a thousand deaths. I really like my designs of these guys tbh I think they're fun! I like Larson being unsettlingly young-looking and just the absolute worst. I also think Noel deserves to be old and Oscar deserves to be so kissable💘💘💘💘. also shout out to john who is pookie and my favorite jealous bitch 💛 i love podcast 💛
